Quotes by Ann Wroe (?)

“According to Augustine, “Eve borrowed sin from the devil and wrote a bill and provided a surety, and the interest on the debt was heaped upon posterity. . . . She wrote the bill when she reached out her hand to the forbidden apple.” And in the end, adds the Golden Legend, “Christ took this bill and nailed it to the cross.”
― Ann Wroe, Pontius Pilate

“Time slipped and slid around him, unanchored by any fact that could be verified. Perhaps it did not matter. 'Where does our story take place, and when?' asked Cocteau at the start of Orphée. 'It's the privilege of legends to be ageless. Comme il vous plaira. As you please.”
― Ann Wroe, Orpheus: The Song of Life

“Pilate also became, in a way, the first priest of the Eucharist of Christ. Christ offered the bread and wine as symbols of his body and blood, but Pilate offered Christ himself. He took him, showed him to the people, proclaimed him and broke him.”
― Ann Wroe, Pontius Pilate
